Internationale Soziale Arbeit und Soziale Bewegungen

The book "International Social Work and Social Movements" offers a comprehensive analysis of the connections between social work and social movements from a global perspective. It illuminates the historical and contemporary relationship between these two areas, which can be both partners and opponents. By examining conventions, cooperations, and coalitions, the political responsibility of social work is emphasized. The textbook provides theoretical foundations and illustrates them with practical case studies from various countries. The aim is to highlight the international dimensions of social work and clarify its relevance in the national context. The editors and authors bring an important topic into focus that foregrounds critical engagement with social injustices and support for marginalized groups.
